    I believe Joe Allen went to Bradley. If I'm wrong , I apologize in advance. George Wilson from Chicago Marshall went to Cincinnati where he won a National Championship.

    I don't know the answer to this so I'll let you tell us. When Doug Collins was there , how many years was Scottie Pippen there? I'not being confrontational, but Colin Cowherd said this week that Michael Jordan only won one playoff series without Scottie.

    As always thank you for your common sense approach! The poster you responded to is the perfect example of people who just make stuff up without knowing the facts.

    That is one interesting take! Some players stay calm and cool. Ch seems to let the other team speed him up and he just makes a lot of bad passes. I don't normally criticize players, but he just needs to calm down.

    I don't necessarily agree that it evens out over time, but let's say it does. I think something that would make things better here would be for some people(not you) to quit constantly complaining about our players. Those kids are 18 to 23 years old.

    Every good team has to have players who can get their own shot. Every team you play knows what you run.

    I will challenge you on only one thing. "Much Quicker Leaper" I've been watching the Illini Since the the mid 50's. I don't remember ever seeing any Illini player get an offensive rebound on a missed free throw in 4 straight games before.

    2/28 Weekday Games

    Our team went to the super sectional and saw them beat Benny Louis(sp) (played at Illinois) from Collinsville I believe. Cobden had 4 starters 6' 5" and over. They beat Stephen Decatur in the semi-final before losing to Pekin. I believe there were less than 100 students in that deep Southern...
